He also cleaned everything up before leaving. A true professional. We will definitely be hiring him again and recommending him to all of our friends. Thanks again Damien"

"I had what turned out to be a clogged pipe going from the house to our septic tank at midnight. I hired another plumbing contractor to come and fix it overnight, as Rooter-Man's 24x7 operator didn't pass on the message. The first contractor started to drain the water from the entire system via a trickle into a 5 gallon bucket at $255/hour. After 2 hours, I sent him home and continued to drain the system for another 3-4 hours on my own, with the expectation that he would return in the morning to continue. I received a call early in the morning from Chris at Rooter-Man. I asked him about the approach that the first contractor had taken, and he suggested that draining the system wasn't necessary. He indicated that the proper approach under the circumstances was to first open the septic tank, to insure that the levels were proper, to prohibit backflow into the home, and pump it out if necessary (it was not). Once open, cleaning the drain by snaking from the outside, through the septic tank, would provide the solution without draining the system. After careful consideration, I called the first contractor back and asked him not to come, and called back Chris and had him complete the job. He was very conscientious, calling when he was on his way, to insure that I was expecting him. I walked him through everything and he was able to complete the job in roughly 1 hour, including cleaning up for the first contractor. He was courteous and friendly, clearly had a command of the issue and executed like an experienced professional. His price was less than what I had prepared for. The fact that I was unable to contact him overnight is my only criticism, and why my overall rating is 4.5, rather than 5. When I asked him this, he resolved to find and correct the issue with the answering service operator. He also indicated that when deciding who to contract with, for a problem such as mine, to try to use a "drain professional", rather than a plumber, as the approach taken may vary (as I found out). FWIW, I initially called Roto-Rooter, who offers 24x7 service, and they also did not call me back until the next morning, despite promises to the contrary. I would recommend Chris & Rooter-Man without any reservations."

"Pedro was terrific. Courteous, highly skilled and a great guy. I spent hours feebly fighting this deeply clogged drain, and he cleared it in a heartbeat. Super fast, thorough, and let me know some good tips on how to use an auger more effectively. Really worth every penny."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

To unclog the drain pipe, remove the machine's drain hose from the pipe or sink drain, being careful to contain any water in it. Next, use a plunger for sink drains or a plumbing snake for a wall drain. Test the repair by pouring a small amount of water into the pipe before trying it with a laundry load.

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.

There are several ways to tell if your gutter downspout drain is backed up. The most obvious sign is when you see water flowing over your gutter edges. This can occur during everything from light rain to a rainstorm. Additional signs can include peeling paint around your downspout, visible dirt around your downspout, and moisture on the side of the house. If you're having ongoing problems with clogs caused by a poorly designed or worn-out gutter system, consider getting a quote for gutter replacement cost.

French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. 

Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.
